is
pleasing

the maidens

oils
have
a
goodly
fragrance; Thy
name is `as'
oil
poured forth;
Therefore
do
the virgins
love
thee
.
Take

with

I am dark
, yet
lovely
, O
daughters of Jerusalem, like
the tents of Kedar, like
the curtains of Solomon.

, but
comely
, Oh
ye
daughters of Jerusalem, As
the tents of Kedar, As
the curtains of Solomon.
Do
not stare
because I am dark
, for
the sun has
gazed
upon
me. My mother’s
sons were angry
with
me; they made me a
keeper of the vineyards ,
but my
own vineyard I
have neglected
.
Look
not upon
me,
because I am swarthy
, Because
the sun hath
scorched
me. My mother's

But '
mine
own vineyard have I
not
kept
.

I
love
, where do
you
pasture
your
sheep?

companions?
Tell me, O thou
whom
my
soul
loveth
, Where thou
feedest
`thy
flock',
Where thou
makest
`it'
to
rest at noon:
For
why should I be as
one
that
is
veiled Beside the flocks of thy
companions?
If you
do
not
know, O fairest of
women, follow
the tracks
of the flock, and graze
your
young
goats
near
the
tents
of
the shepherds.
If thou
know not
, O thou
fairest among
women, Go
thy
way
forth
by
the footsteps
of the flock, And feed
thy
kids
beside
the shepherds '
tents
.

you
, my darling
, to a mare
among
Pharaoh’s

with ornaments
, your
neck with strings of jewels.

studded
with beads
of silver.

plaits
